Antarctic Act 1994
Write the words of this act the way you think they should read. Solon shows your change as a redline against the published text and pins it to that exact text, so it can never be applied to wording you did not see.
Change 1
8 Permits required for introducing non-native animals and plants into Antarctica.
(1) No United Kingdom national , and no non-national on a British expedition, may introduce into any part of Antarctica any animal of a species that is not indigenous to Antarctica, or any plant that is not a native plant, except in accordance with a permit granted under section 12 or under the written authorisation of another Contracting Party. (2) The keeping of— (a) a recognised assistance dog on board a vessel in Antarctica, (b) another animal on board such a vessel where the vessel is travelling to an immediate destination outside Antarctica, or (c) a plant on board a vessel in Antarctica, shall not be regarded as a contravention of subsection (1). (3) Any person who contravenes subsection (1) shall be guilty of an offence. (4) Nothing in this section prohibits the introduction of a microscopic organism. (5) In this section— “ plant ” means any terrestrial, marine or freshwater vegetation, including bryophytes, lichen, fungi and algae, and includes such vegetation at any stage of its life cycle (including seeds and other propagules of such vegetation); “recognised assistance dog” means a dog which has been trained to assist a disabled person by a person, or a person of a description, prescribed in regulations.

One line that says what changes, such as "Halve the dog tax".
Who it helps, what it costs, what it fixes. It is what persuades people to support it.
A proposal here is not law. Support on Solon is evidence that people want the change; the official route says what it takes to make it law.

Ask what your change would do, who would gain and who would bear a cost, and where something like it is already law. The assistant reads your draft as it stands, cites the law and the studies it finds, and takes no side. What you file stays yours.
